UK Back Pages: Edinson Cavani Celebrated for His Late Winner Against Chelsea

Edinson Cavani is the toast of the town, as his 78th-minute winner gave Paris Saint-Germain the advantage after the first leg of their UEFA Champions League clash with Chelsea on Tuesday night. 

The Uruguayan came on only minutes earlier and has struggled to find his form for the Parisian giants for much of the season. 

On the biggest of stages, he put PSG in position to advance in the second leg at Stamford Bridge after Zlatan Ibrahimovic and John Obi Mikel traded first-half goals.
